All Washed Up!

By Ginevra Pylant

If you’ve let order go down the drain, it’s time to come clean. Julie Morgenstern, author of When Organizing Isn’t Enough: SHED Your Stuff, Change Life (Fireside, 2008), offers this advice on how to banish bathroom clutter.

A Separate Peace: Divide the bathroom into activity zones—bathing, laundry, grooming and so forth. Assign every item in the room to one of these stations and put them back after each use.

Jet Set: Pack duplicate toiletries and cosmetics you can’t leave home without in a travel bag and store them in your suitcase.

Under Cover: Fashion a fabric skirt for a wall-hung sink to create storage for unattractive items such as cleaners and hot rollers.

Doctor’s Orders: Throw out expired medications safely. Find out if your community has a household hazardous waste facility or if your pharmacy has a drug recycling program.
